Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
⅓ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pound cooked crabmeat
salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¾ cup vegetable oil
lemon, zested
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
salt to taste
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
8 cups mixed salad greens
2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and bell pepper; continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cayenne pepper; cook 2 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and refrigerate until cold.
  • Stir the mayonnaise into the chilled vegetable mixture along with the soft bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, parsley, and beaten egg. Stir until combined, then gently fold in the crab meat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dry bread crumbs into a shallow bowl. Form the crab mixture into 8 cakes, 1/2 inch thick. Press the crab cakes into the bread crumbs one at a time until coated on all sides. Gently shake off excess crumbs, and place the crab cakes onto a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking 3/4 cup vegetable oil with the zest of 1 lemon, lemon juice, ginger, jalapeno, sugar, and salt. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Heat the frying oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, toss the mixed salad greens with the vinaigrette in a mixing bowl, and divide onto 8 serving plates. Arrange the sliced avocado over the salads, and set aside.
  • Once the oil is shimmering with heat, fry the crab cakes until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate to rid the cakes of excess grease. Place a crab cake on top of each salad and serve immediately.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 lb imitation crabmeat, flaked
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Add the green pepper, onion, and celery, and sauté until tender.
  • In a medium bowl, combine with the remaining ingredients; mix well, then form into 16 patties and place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be gentle when mixing the crab meat; over-mixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Chill the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the crab cakes; this will cause them to steam rather than fry.
  • Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
  • If you don't have any Old Bay seasoning, you can substitute a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • You can bake the crab cakes instead of frying them, if you prefer. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake the crab cakes for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
